Just like the launch of BOTW 6 years ago, I’m posting this.

If you actually look back at Nintendo’s history of console revisions, the fact of the matter is that most of them have never really been about improving the specs of the processors. In the case of their handhelds, most revisions have been about adding QoL features like different form factors or bigger/brighter screens (the GBA SP, the 3DS XL). Meanwhile, in the case of their home consoles, most revisions have been about providing a cheaper alternative (often actually taking features out of the machine, like in the case of the Wii Mini). Even console revisions like the DSi or the New 3DS that did include improved processors have however been very modest upgrades compared to the originals.

In that sense, it was always extremely unlikely that the new Switch model was going to be something akin to the PlayStation 4 Pro or the Xbox One X. Nintendo is just not interested in taking part in the same technological arms race as Sony and Microsoft, and they haven’t been part of that since the Wii/DS era.

Personally, I always assumed a new Switch model was going to be something more akin to the 3DS XL, that is, something with a better and/or bigger screen, possibly with some additional QoL features added. And if the rumors of it being compatible with 4k TV’s had any merit to them, I imagined it was more likely going to be “4k enabled” in the same way that the Xbox One S was 4k enabled (that is, through them adding a video upscaler in the dock rather than any fancy new processors or anything like that). Lo and behold: They finally announced the Switch OLED model, with a fancier slightly bigger screen and some added QoL features (no 4k however). Mostly what I expected.

Yet, it seems that far too many people took the “4k enabled” thing far too literally and expected things that just seemed out of the realm of likelihood or even possibility. Lo and behold: A massive wave of disappointment over something that was never actually promised (and if you paid attention, was always extremely unlikely).
